An e-scooter rider was taken to hospital after a serious crash near Bramley this morning (Monday).
Emergency crews were called at 9.10am to reports of a serious road traffic collision on Stanningley Road. Police said an electric scooter rider had been seriously injured.
The eastbound carriageway of Stanningley Road was closed at the junction with Henconner Lane and drivers were advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes. The road re-opened later in the day.
You don’t want to wish this sort of incident on anyone, but these e-scooters are an accident waiting to happen. They always seem to be ridden erraticaly and inconsiderately, on and off the road, and of course, its not even legal for them to be out and about anyway.
